Production in the Innovation Economy: How to Create Excellence Through Competition and Benchmarking in the U.S. Shipbuilding and Defense Industry - Phase 2

Abstract

MIT conducted a major study on U.S. manufacturing with emphasis on better harvesting of upstream innovations into downstream manufacturing and services. This study known as Production in the Innovation Economy (PIE) [http://web.mit.edu/pie] gathered data about the strengths and weaknesses and prospects for U.S. manufacturing and its relationship to innovation. It released a major report in 2013. MIT proposed to add a standalone module to the study that addressed specifically the issues of U.S. shipbuilding and defense manufacturing, assessing several key 'legacy' processes and activities for opportunities to optimize production.
